Tabcontrol colors

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   When I use TabControl with Office 2003 appearance, everything is great except for one thing: tabs are assigned a somewhat randomly chosen color. This looks great but is there a way to set the color manually? I'd like to set specific colors for some tabs. Is that possible? Am I overlooking something? Thanx!

	You can turn off OneNoteColors to get rid of random colors. Note, AutoTheme will need to be FALSE and you will have to set the Appearance to PropertyPage2003 and the Color to Office2003 (Assuming you want Office 2003 style tabs). THen you can choose custom colors. Edited by SuperMario

	Thanks! Last question for today (promise ): How can I programmatically select a given tab? I tried to assign a tabitem to the selected-property but that did not work...

	something like: If not CommandBars.TabWorkspace.Item(3) is nothing then CommandBars.TabWorkspace.Item(3).Selected = True end if

	Thanks! The more I dive into this, the more I must say: a superb control collection, fast and reliable. Cool...
